"Agree;
and my first guess why is fluoride, second bromide, third chlorine; all used en masse today. The halides. I only guess, as I well know that "science" today will not care to find out.
When the receptors taken up by those 3 instead of iodine, there is no need for the thyroid to enlarge. "
And metaphorical example from Dr. Wilson (not about Iodine but you will get the point):
''Toxic metals''
http://drlwilson.com/Articles/TOXIC%20METALS.htm
"Cadmium, in particular, is located just below zinc in the periodic table of the elements, so its atomic structure is very similar to that of zinc. It almost fits perfectly in the zinc binding sites of critical enzymes such as RNA transferase, carboxypeptidase, alcohol dehydrogenase and many others or great importance in the body.
The ability to replace a vital mineral means, however, that toxic metals are not completely harmful. Indeed, they can extend life. They keep bodies functioning when vital minerals are deficient.
An analogy is to imagine taking an automobile journey. If one is far away from a repair shop when a key part like the fan belt breaks, if one had a spare piece of rope, one could tie it around the pulleys and continue the trip slowly.
The rope would not function nearly as well as the original part, but would allow one to keep going. This is how toxic metals can function positively in the body.Many people limp along on grossly deficient diets, and are even born deficient and toxic . "
